I’m
having lunch with a friend of mine. He takes a big bite of his Friday lunch
special, pauses, swallows and gasps - Oh crap, I forgot I gave up meat for
lent! He shrugs his shoulders and finishes his meal, muttering, I think I gave
up French fries too… I
love this quote by Pastor Bruxy Cavey:
"Giving up...stuff is not the ticket to heaven. It is the coming and
following Jesus—that's where we receive the gift of grace." The
Apostle Paul said it like this:Since we have been acquitted
and made right through faith, we are able to experience true and lasting peace with God
through… Jesus…[He] leads us into a place of radical grace where we are able to celebrate the hope of
experiencing God’s glory. God's radical grace: -Something
gotten, but something given; -A gospel-transformed, character
refined heart; -Not
just forgiveness - forgiveness fueled by surrender; God’s radical grace is like a voice calling from heaven that summons us to
change and then gives us the power to p…

When I was young, we practiced
Lent. As I “matured” in the church I stopped practicing Lent because it was
assumed to be a "dead tradition" and because I couldn't find a proof
text for it in Scripture. Now I realize that Lent is not a
tradition for tradition's sake, it’s about my focus on Christ, Easter and the
hope of the resurrection - not the hope of human perfection but a life in God that
overshadows my own.

The Christian life is not just about a personal relationship with God, even if personal faith and responsibility are absolutely necessary. When too much emphasis is placed on a privatize salvation, we run the potential of getting so much wrong.

Avoid the draw to escape church citizenry. Becoming a disciple of Christ was never meant to be a solo expedition. Doing so means we expose ourselves to totally missing the opportunity to see the Eternal and His Holy Spirit in action: in real communities, in actual churches, in non-partisan politics, in obvious differences, in honest-to-goodness marriages, in authentic social discussions and during hard theological disagreements. You can't go it alone. Following Jesus shouldn’t be about intellectual assent, but rather it's communal activity, where-by we help ensure we don’t run the risk of missingthe Word who came to dwell among us. Consider that believing in Jesus and being mentored by the Holy Ghost is largely a group activity, albeit a…

Are you holding a close secret? Are you mum on something you're not supposed to tell anyone? If you’re like many folks I’ve met, you’re holding ‘something or other’ pretty close to your vest. And in doing so, as SNL’s Mike Myers would say: “Oh, I'm getting a little verklempt (farklempt). Most stuff is worth sharing, especially with the right person. While sharing personal “stuff” might seem like an invasion of privacy, it’s so worth the “vulnerability hangover”It’s worth being misunderstood and misrepresented. There’s desirability in discomfort. It's worth the death of your self-image and maybe even your brand. There’s benefit to owning up to what’s inside, no matter how difficult, because as the Psalmist wrote: Hidden things will always come out into the open. Secret things will come to light and be exposed.[1] Secrets bring bondage, sharing brings freedom. Freedom. Here’s what happens when you finally drop the act, when you finally admit that you're not fine, when you …

“..Like a sheep to a shearing, like a lamb to be slaughtered, he went—oh so quietly, oh so willingly..”The crucifixion of Christ, the awful marriage of human sinfulness and the pinnacle of divine grace, must remain an enduring mystery, a mystery of my faith — Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again. Good Friday calls on me to take another look, to remember, His death. ~Selah~ So in my exuberance to treasure all the beauty that is Easter, I must be careful not to scurry past Good Friday. Easter alone does not make Christianity unique. It’s Good Friday, coupled with Easter, where we find the uniqueness of Christianity. As you contemplate the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus, I pray that God will reveal his unfathomable love for you in new ways. May you know the love of the one who gave his life for you…#Pkes #MinMChurch #MetroLifeChurch
